About Us

Guided by our purpose and values and powered by the experience and commitment of our people, we work to create value for communities, employees, investors and others by leveraging over a century’s worth of expertise at every stage of the mining cycle.

Hudbay is a copper-focused mining company with three long-life operations and a world-class pipeline of copper growth projects in tier-one mining-friendly jurisdictions of Canada, Peru and the United States.

Hudbay’s operating portfolio includes the Constancia mine in Cusco (Peru), the Snow Lake operations in Manitoba (Canada) and the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia (Canada). Copper is the primary metal produced by the company, which is complemented by meaningful gold production. Hudbay’s growth pipeline includes the Copper World project in Arizona, the Mason project in Nevada (United States), the Llaguen project in La Libertad (Peru) and several expansion and exploration opportunities near its existing operations.

The value Hudbay creates and the impact it has is embodied in its purpose statement: “We care about our people, our communities and our planet. Hudbay provides the metals the world needs. We work sustainably, transform lives and create better futures for communities.” Hudbay’s mission is to create sustainable value and strong returns by leveraging its core strengths in community relations, focused exploration, mine development and efficient operations.

Our Strategy

Hudbay has implemented a consistent long-term growth strategy to drive sustainable value for our shareholders and the countries and communities in which we operate. We leverage our exploration, project development, capital discipline and ESG (environmental, social and governance) expertise to build long-life, low-cost mines in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Our intent is to build a world-class asset base with meaningful scale that increases reserves and drives growth through multiple cycles. Our strategy is inextricably linked to our values and deep commitment to responsible mining and sustainable development. This translates into strong, trust-based relationships with our community and government partners, generating mutual benefits and allowing us to build and operate our mines unimpeded by social conflict. We are intensely focused on attracting, retaining and developing top-tier people to sustain our competitive advantages in exploration, mine building and ESG.

One Hudbay One Purpose

In a few years, Hudbay will be celebrating 100 years in operation. Over that time, we have always worked to create value for all of our stakeholders and to make a contribution that extended beyond investment returns. Over the last decade, we have worked to articulate our values and, most recently, our purpose.

DEVELOPING OUR PURPOSE STATEMENT

A company’s Purpose statement is designed to inspire, particularly those who matter most to an organization – employees, partners, customers, community members and investors. It should reflect the organization’s impact on the lives of the people it seeks to serve. It is about more than making money or increasing production – a Purpose statement should express the unique, positive difference that a company seeks to make in the world.

In developing our Purpose statement, we interviewed members of our senior leadership team and conducted brainstorming activities with superintendents, managers and directors from across all business units. We identified several key themes, which helped to shape our purpose statement.

We care…about our employees, their families, our local communities, the land/environment that we mine, and the planet.

We transform lives for the better.

Our metals are essential for modern society and a sustainable future.

We enable world-class production. We are leaders in operational excellence.

We used these insights to craft a final Purpose statement that aligns with our Values and provides us with a foundation to stand on, a goal to aim for and a star to steer by.

Our Purpose statement will replace our Vision statement and work with our new Mission statement, revised to more accurately reflect our investor focus, to represent Hudbay, our people and our activities.
